Entertainment to fashion-bash red-carpet-wise over at the TV Guide Channel. They had been with E! Entertainment since 1996. 26 Performed stand-up comedy, prior to hopeful Broadway run, at Club Fez in Manhattan. [June 2002] 27 Used to maintain a residence in Litchfield County, Connecticut adjacent to the former Bill Blass estate. 28 Early in her career, she was a writer for Candid Camera (1953). 32 Her parents, Beatrice (Grushman) and Meyer Molinsky, were Russian Jewish immigrants.

33 Her father, Meyer C. Molinsky, was a doctor. 34 An accomplished author, she has written several candid autobiographies, including "Enter Talking" and "Still Talking". Author of self-help books, including "Bouncing Back: I've Survived Everything... and I Mean Everything... and You Can Too!" and "Don't Count the Candles: Just Keep the Fire Lit!". Author of several comedy books, including "Having a Baby Can Be a Scream" and "The Life and Hard Times of Heidi Abromowitz". 35 Early in her career, she performed as half of the comedy team of "Joanie and Bill". "Bill" was former actor William Perry (1936-2006) who was the nephew of actress Toby Wing . 36 She was an advocate of plastic surgery for older women saying that if a woman can afford it, it is worth it for her self-esteem. 37 The majority of her plastic surgery was performed by Santa Monica surgeon Steven Hoefflin (who also performed plastic surgery on Michael Jackson 's nose). She also received Botox and collagen injections every four months from New York City dermatologist Patricia Wexler.

38 She had her nose thinned in 1983. 39 She had her first cosmetic surgery procedure (an eye-lift) in 1965 at age 32. 40 She was a Phi Beta Kappa Sorority key holder from Barnard College, where she studied anthropology. 41 Started performing as a stand-up comedienne using the stage name Pepper January. 42 Was a vegetarian. 43 Was nominated for Broadway's 1994 Tony Award as Best Actress (Play) for portraying the title character, Sally Marr , in "Sally Marr... and Her Escorts". 44 Was one of the final guests to appear on The Wayne Brady Show (2002). 45 She won a Daytime Emmy Award in 1990 for best talk show host and was nominated for a Tony Award for the play "Donna Marr and Her Escorts" in 1994. She was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Recording in 1985. 46 About 1982, she was appointed the first permanent guest hostess on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962).

She infuriated Johnny Carson when she left to host her own show, The Late Show (1986) on rival Fox network. Johnny Carson never spoke to her again. 47 Hosted a daily talk show on WOR-AM radio in New York City from 1997 until 2002, syndicated to about 50 stations. 48 Was the national spokesperson for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. 49 Said the most difficult celebrity she ever interviewed was Tommy Lee Jones , whom she thought was rude. 50 Collected Faberge eggs. 51 After graduating from college and before getting into show business, she was briefly a shoe buyer for Lord & Taylor, a department store in New York City. 52 Received her Bachelor's degree in English literature and anthropology from Barnard College in New York City (1954). 53 Attended Connecticut College for Women in New London, Conneticut. 54 Attended Adelphi University in Garden City, New York. 55 My sex life is so bad, my G-spot has been declared a historical landmark. 2 All my mother told me about sex was that the man goes on top, and that the woman goes on bottom.

For three years, my husband and I slept in bunk beds. 3 I have no sex appeal. If my husband didn't toss and turn, we'd never have had any kids. 4 I wish I had a twin, so I could know what I'd look like without plastic surgery. 5 All I ever heard when I was a kid was,"Why can't you be more like your cousin Sheila?" And Sheila had died at birth. 6 People say that money is not the key to happiness. But I've always figured that, with enough money, you can hire a battering ram. 7 The great thing about irrigating your colon is that sometimes you find old jewelry. 8 My love life is like a piece of Swiss cheese: much of it's missing, and what's there stinks. 9 If you don't want gays in the military, make the uniforms ugly. 10 [on Renee Zellweger] Push her face against a glass door, and you'll see what all babies look like at birth. 11 Want to know why women don't blink during foreplay? Not enough time. 12 [on Justin Bieber ] He looks like the daughter Cher wishes she'd had.

13 At my funeral, I want Meryl Streep crying in five different accents. 14 [on daughter Melissa Rivers ] She and I are very close. We speak every single day. Literally, I call her every day and leave the same message on her answering machine: "Pick the hell up, Melissa. I know you're there, damn it." And she always calls me back with the same response: "Mom, how in God's name did you get this new number?" 15 A study says owning a dog makes you 10 years younger. I'd rescue two more, but who wants to go through menopause twice? 16 There are three things all children should be taught never to do: touch a hot stove; pull lamps off tables; and wake their mother before noon. 17 I hate housework. You make the beds, you do the dishes...and six months later, you have to start all over again. 18 Never be afraid to laugh at yourself; after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century. 19 Look at Gwyneth Paltrow being named the Most Beautiful this year. Congratulations, Gwyneth!

Now look at who she got to vote: Ray Charles , José Feliciano , Helen Keller, Ronnie Milsap , Tom Sullivan , and Stevie Wonder . 20 I haven't missed the Emmys since that year my makeup team was nominated for "Best Special Effects"! 21 The secret of my success is just saying what everybody else has been thinking. 22 My best birth control now is just to leave the lights on. 23 [her trademark line] Can we talk? 24 [on the red-carpet] Who are you wearing? 25 I don't exercise. If God had wanted me to bend over, he would have put diamonds on the floor. 26 [In 2010, on Twitter] With all the plastic surgery I've had, I'm worried that when I die, God won't recognize me! 27 [on antiques] If Louis XIV hasn't sat on it, I don't want it. 28 That awful, vulgar, loud woman on stage, that's not me. I wouldn't want to be her friend. 29 Men who look down my dress usually compliment me on my shoes. 30 New York was the magic city. New York was Oz.

All I wanted to do was get out of Brooklyn and get into Oz. We'd go to the theater district -- I saved my money, and I would go with a girlfriend and sit in Sardi's, order an avocado for 60 cents, and wait to be discovered. They must have been thrilled to see us. We went to Howard Johnson's, and my friend smoked a cigarette. We're sitting at the Howard Johnson's, and we're smoking cigarettes -- say no more. 31 Boy George is all England needs. Another queen who can't dress. 32 Having my daughter, I screamed for twenty-three hours straight. And that was just during conception. 33 [on reality shows] When was the last time you went to a dinner party where three women got up and slapped each other? Everybody's punching and slapping. This is not reality. We got a second season because everybody that has a parent, a mother, anyone can relate to what really happens between adult children and parents. 34 [on the passing of Elaine Kaufman ] Elaine's was a place you went to let everyone know you were in town. It was first stop L.A./N.Y. You knew your name was above the title when Elaine sat with you.

I also loved that the prices changed constantly. 35 [Interview with Andrew Scott, June 10, 2010] I've never been in the "in" group. I've never been considered. But that's what keeps me punching, if that makes sense. I'm still in the "I'll show you" mentality. 36 [In an interview, on the British chat show Loose Women (1999) in 2008, on working the red carpet for the E! Channel]: You get someone like Russell Crowe , and you want to say to the camera, he is a piece of - get ready to bleep this - f***ing shit. (Rivers was immediately pulled from the British chat show - they had no bleep.) These idiots came running onto the set, ripped me off my seat and dragged me off, saying, "Let's go, let's go, let's go." When the audience saw my empty chair, I worried that, because of my age, they might think I'd wet it because my diaper leaked. People always ask me, "What haven't you done, Miss Rivers? You've done this and that, been nominated for an Emmy and a Tony.

You've hosted shows, you've acted, done stand-up, lost your husband to suicide, been bankrupted by a business partner [who made off with $37m in the 1990s] - what haven't you done?". Well, until today, I'd never been kicked off live television. Assholes. 37 I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio. 38 My husband wanted to be cremated. I told him I'd scatter his ashes at [the department store] Neiman Marcus - that way, I'd visit him every day. 39 One of the earliest jokes I did about my husband was that I was the one who really caused Edgar's suicide, because, while we were making love, I took the bag off my head. 40 There is not one female comic who was beautiful as a little girl. Tell me one funny woman who was ever beautiful. Gwyneth Paltrow , stop, please, stop, I can't stand it. Angelina Jolie ? Men don't want you funny.

It's all about coping when you're not being the pretty girl, and you're not being the first one asked to dance, and the bottle spins and lands on you and Stuart Wein doesn't want to kiss you. 41 I was just interviewed for a documentary [ Making Trouble (2007)] on my least favorite subject - women comedians and how we've all been kept out. These two women came to my house, very serious, and asked, "How long did it take for you to get into the room?". I said, "Let me tell you something: if Adolf Hitler had four good jokes, he'd be in the room." It has to do with funny. Then they talked about how women help each other. I said, "I hate to tell you, but if it was between Sarah Silverman and me for a job? I'll kill her and she'll kill me. There's no sisterhood in comedy". 42 [June 29, 2008] One of the reasons I am so happy - there's lots happening again. Four times in my life, I woke up and the diary was empty. That's the worst feeling in the world.

My Broadway show and my talk show were canceled on the same Friday. And I went that night to see Barbra Streisand , whom I'd started with, perform for 20,000 people at Madison Square Garden. That was a very bad night. Now I'm doing a pilot, I have two books coming, I have my play, I'm in a series that they've shot and they hope will be successful, I'm doing stand-up and I've got my jewelry company. At this age, to be wanted - you are fighting every single step of the way. 43 [on young female comics]: They all come up to me and say, "Without you, I couldn't be here, the barriers you broke down." I say, "Get the f*** away from me. I still could take every one of you with one hand behind my back. Outta here. Talk like that at my funeral, but not till then". 44 There is not one female comic who was beautiful as a little girl. 45 The only thing that's saving me is my age. Because I don't care. I've been up, I've been down. I've been fired, I've been hired. I've been broke.

What are you gonna to do me? Not like me? I don't give a damn. 46 I'm in nobody's circle, I've always been an outsider. I don't have those wonderful dinners with Woody, I've never been asked by Jay. And it makes you sad, because I think it would be wonderful to sit and talk about things that very few people understand. But I'm very competitive, and I'm sure they feel that. I'm jealous of that little slut Paris Hilton . Why? I'm very competitive. And I think that's what has kept me going. I'm not gracious. 47 I want them to know I don't think I'm wonderful, or better than they are. Part of comedy is saying: "I am you and you are me, and we're all feeling the same thing". 48 [on Parkinson (1971), when entering] I am a dyke! And I'm DAMN proud of it! 49 Camilla Parker-Bowles is an earthy, funny woman. You can swear in front of her. 50 Once I was having lunch in a fancy restaurant with Lily Tomlin and Richard Pryor .

We were all struggling comics together and the day we had lunch, any one of us could have picked up the check. That's when I knew I'd made it. 51 Joan Rivers dies at age 81 - just a week after routine throat procedure left her in a coma | Daily Mail Online Next Comedienne Joan Rivers dies at age 81 - just a week after routine throat procedure left her in a coma Melissa Rivers put out a statement saying the legendary comic passed away at 1:17pm surrounded by her family Joan Rivers' passing comes after she went into cardiac arrest during vocal cord surgery a week ago She had spent the last few days in a coma and on life support New York Department of Health launched investigation into clinic where Rivers' ill-fated procedure was performed Funeral for Rivers will take place Sunday at Temple Emanu-El Joan Rivers Net Worth 2017/2016 - Celebrity Net Worth Celebrity Net Worth Home / Celebrities / Joan Rivers Net Worth Joan Rivers Net Worth How rich is Joan Rivers?

54 Quote 1 [as reported by Richard Corliss] They all come up to me and say, "Without you, I couldn't be here, the barriers you broke down." I say, "Get the fuck away from me. I still could take every one of you with one hand behind my back. Outta here. Talk like that at my funeral, but not till then.". 2 My best birth control now is just to leave the lights on. 3 [her trademark line] Can we talk? 4 [on the red-carpet] Who are you wearing? 5 I don't exercise. If God had wanted me to bend over, he would have put diamonds on the floor. 6 [In 2010, on Twitter] With all the plastic surgery I've had, I'm worried that when I die, God won't recognize me! 7 [on antiques] If Louis XIV hasn't sat on it, I don't want it. 8 That awful, vulgar, loud woman on stage, that's not me. I wouldn't want to be her friend. 9 Men who look down my dress usually compliment me on my shoes. 10 New York was the magic city. New York was Oz.

All I wanted to do was get out of Brooklyn and get into Oz. We'd go to the theater district -- I saved my money, and I would go with a girlfriend and sit in Sardi's, order an avocado for 60 cents, and wait to be discovered. They must have been thrilled to see us. We went to Howard Johnson's, and my friend smoked a cigarette. We're sitting at the Howard Johnson's, and we're smoking cigarettes -- say no more. 11 Boy George is all England needs. Another queen who can't dress. 12 Having my daughter, I screamed for twenty-three hours straight. And that was just during conception. 13 [on reality shows] When was the last time you went to a dinner party where three women got up and slapped each other? Everybody's punching and slapping. This is not reality. We got a second season because everybody that has a parent, a mother, anyone can relate to what really happens between adult children and parents. 14 [on the passing of Elaine Kaufman] Elaine's was a place you went to let everyone know you were in town. It was first stop L.A./N.Y. You knew your name was above the title when Elaine sat with you.

I also loved that the prices changed constantly. 15 [Interview with Andrew Scott, June 10, 2010] I've never been in the "in" group. I've never been considered. But that's what keeps me punching, if that makes sense. I'm still in the "I'll show you" mentality. 16 [In an interview, on the British chat show Loose Women (1999) in 2008, on working the red carpet for the E! Channel]: You get someone like Russell Crowe, and you want to say to the camera, he is a piece of - get ready to bleep this - f***ing shit. (Rivers was immediately pulled from the British chat show - they had no bleep.) These idiots came running onto the set, ripped me off my seat and dragged me off, saying, "Let's go, let's go, let's go." When the audience saw my empty chair, I worried that, because of my age, they might think I'd wet it because my diaper leaked. People always ask me, "What haven't you done, Miss Rivers? You've done this and that, been nominated for an Emmy and a Tony.

You've hosted shows, you've acted, done stand-up, lost your husband to suicide, been bankrupted by a business partner [who made off with $37m in the 1990s] - what haven't you done?". Well, until today, I'd never been kicked off live television. Assholes. 17 I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio. 18 My husband wanted to be cremated. I told him I'd scatter his ashes at [the department store] Neiman Marcus - that way, I'd visit him every day. 19 One of the earliest jokes I did about my husband was that I was the one who really caused Edgar's suicide, because, while we were making love, I took the bag off my head. 20 There is not one female comic who was beautiful as a little girl. Tell me one funny woman who was ever beautiful. Gwyneth Paltrow, stop, please, stop, I can't stand it. Angelina Jolie? Men don't want you funny.

It's all about coping when you're not being the pretty girl, and you're not being the first one asked to dance, and the bottle spins and lands on you and Stuart Wein doesn't want to kiss you. 21 I was just interviewed for a documentary [Making Trouble (2007)] on my least favourite subject - women comedians and how we've all been kept out. These two women came to my house, very serious, and asked, "How long did it take for you to get into the room?". I said, "Let me tell you something: if Adolf Hitler had four good jokes, he'd be in the room." It has to do with funny. Then they talked about how women help each other. I said, "I hate to tell you, but if it was between Sarah Silverman and me for a job? I'll kill her and she'll kill me. There's no sisterhood in comedy.". 22 [June 29, 2008] One of the reasons I am so happy - there's lots happening again. Four times in my life, I woke up and the diary was empty. That's the worst feeling in the world.

My Broadway show and my talk show were canceled on the same Friday. And I went that night to see Barbra Streisand, whom I'd started with, perform for 20,000 people at Madison Square Garden. That was a very bad night. Now I'm doing a pilot, I have two books coming, I have my play, I'm in a series that they've shot and they hope will be successful, I'm doing stand-up and I've got my jewelry company. At this age, to be wanted - you are fighting every single step of the way. 23 [on young female comics]: They all come up to me and say, "Without you, I couldn't be here, the barriers you broke down." I say, "Get the f*** away from me. I still could take every one of you with one hand behind my back. Outta here. Talk like that at my funeral, but not till then.". 24 There is not one female comic who was beautiful as a little girl. 25 The only thing that's saving me is my age. Because I don't care. I've been up, I've been down. I've been fired, I've been hired. I've been broke.

What are you gonna to do me? Not like me? I don't give a damn. 26 I'm in nobody's circle, I've always been an outsider. I don't have those wonderful dinners with Woody, I've never been asked by Jay. And it makes you sad, because I think it would be wonderful to sit and talk about things that very few people understand. But I'm very competitive, and I'm sure they feel that. I'm jealous of that little slut Paris Hilton. Why? I'm very competitive. And I think that's what has kept me going. I'm not gracious. 27 I want them to know I don't think I'm wonderful, or better than they are. Part of comedy is saying: "I am you and you are me, and we're all feeling the same thing.". 28 [on Parkinson (1971), when entering] I am a dyke! And I'm DAMN proud of it! 29 Camilla Parker-Bowles is an earthy, funny woman. You can swear in front of her. 30 Once I was having lunch in a fancy restaurant with Lily Tomlin and Richard Pryor.

We were all struggling comics together and the day we had lunch, any one of us could have picked up the check. That's when I knew I'd made it. 31
